New Member - What should I do?

Postby Gookie » Sun Aug 18, 2019 6:34 pm

Hi, I am a new member so I apologise if I do something incorrectly.

I currently have 2009 lancer Ralliart, it has about 117,000 km's (72700.4295 miles) it's in pretty good shape and has had all of its regular services.

I bought the car with modifications such as: Cat Back exhaust system, Pod air filter and blow off value. Since then all I've done to it is got a custom tune at Pulse Racing in Sydney, Australia. I am happy with how the car runs I would just like to step up to the next level in terms of performance.

The next package that Pulse offer is basically an upgrade of everything: turbo back exhaust system, upgraded turbo (possibly evo 8 but I can't remember), new intercooler, fuel injectors, high flow cat, cold air intake, and they tune it as well. This costs around $11,000 AUD ($7.5k USD). I want to upgrade to this but I'm not sure, does the car have too many km's for it to be worthwhile? Or should I just save up and get a new car in a couple of years? I do have enough money to upgrade and I do plan to keep this car as long as it doesn't break down. Also I've heard that you have to replace the trans in these cars and they cost about $10,000 AUD to replace.

What do you guys think I should do?

Thanks :)

Edit: Went from about 140.4 KW - 177.1 KW to the wheels.

If you're going to spend that much on performance then do a clutch pack upgrade before it fails.

Around what Km's do the clutches fail? And is it replacing it with an aftermarket one? Also is that expensive? (Sorry for so many questions I'm totally new to this.)

Welcome. Probably just wait and get something different? An Evo? Sounds like you want to spend money and it’ll end up costing a bit to do properly.
